9/11, Accreditation, Social Justice, Jemar Tisby

James White, September 11, 2018, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Offense, Persecution, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide variety of things today from the 9-11 remembrances to the use of accreditation to crush Christian education in the West to various discussions of the social justice issue from a number of specifics (especially from articles by Douglas Wilson and Samuel Sey). Finished up looking at Jemar Tisby’s article wherein he exhorts people to “avoid” people like

A Response to Dr. Raymond Chang

James White, September 10, 2018, Racialism

Raymond Chang has written a thread in social media in response to our Statement that is helpful—in the sense of illustrating how worldview presuppositions impact reading and communication. The thread begins with the intended conclusion, that which Dr. Chang is wanting to communicate to his readers: if you do not stand with the social justice movement, with those who are

Avoid the Signers of the Statement Says One Avoiding Its Arguments

James White, September 6, 2018, Racialism

Jemar Tisby, head of the blog formerly known as RAAN, has suggested, in an article run on the Religion News Service (RNS) site, that those of us involved in writing the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel should be “avoided.” Those are his words. I like quotes, so here we go: I’m tempted to refute the recent statement on

A Response to Union Theological Seminary and Pastor Ryan King from London on the Social Justice and the Gospel Statement

James White, September 5, 2018, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Wanted to get a second program in this week as I leave tomorrow for ministry in Florida (including the debate on homosexuality). Was going to open the phones but instead ended up responding to two articles in rebuttal to the Statement, first from Union Theological Seminary, the second from a Reformed Baptist pastor in London, pastor Ryan Burton King. Hopefully

The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel: Background, Exegesis, Application

James White, September 4, 2018, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Given that The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel was released today, I dedicated the program to the topic, the background of the statement, etc. I also took time to provide some biblical reasoning from Revelation 5 and Ephesians 2, and then made application to social media statements that illustrate the corrosive effects of this movement within the church.

Romans 15:13, 1 Tim 4, Heb 7:24 and ἀπαράβατον, Church History without Racial Quotas

James White, August 28, 2018, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a lengthy discussion of the great text in Romans 15:13, then moved on to 1 Timothy 4:1-3 in light of the current situation in Rome. Then looked very closely at the meaning of ἀπαράβατον at Hebrews 7:23-24 in light of a Mormon attempt to get around its meaning. Finally closed out with a few comments on the teaching

What I Actually Said on Yesterday’s Dividing Line

James White, August 24, 2018, Racialism

The bias with which certain people “hear” what is said by others is sometimes, well, glaring. So yesterday I talked about how a person would be “crushed” in a debate if they denied a particular theological statement. Some people just heard “crushed” and, in concert with so much of the thinking of the world today, assumed things that just were

Bill Mounce and John 3:16, Slamming TMU/TMS, More on “Color Blind,” then Open Phones with Good Calls

James White, August 23, 2018, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Looked at Bill Mounce’s article on “whoever” in John 3:16 (a second article, more recent than one I’ve addressed before), then moved on to the sad spectacle of Christians gleefully piling on TMS/TMU, including one graduate going after JM for daring to address the “social justice” controversy. Finished up a brief response regarding the real meaning of “color-blind theology,” what

The Issue IS Homosexuality, then Brad Mason on “Color Blind Theology”

James White, August 21, 2018, Homosexuality, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with some important observations of the current scandal in the Roman Catholic Church (it IS about homosexuality) and then moved on to look at a comment from Dr. Anthony Bradley, finishing with a lengthy discussion of ethnicity in the church (it is being discussed a lot these days!) in light of Brad Mason’s article against “color blind theology.”

Current Events and Controversies Followed by Radio Free Geneva!

James White, August 16, 2018, Exegesis, Racialism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did thirty minutes on current events (the ethnicity discussion mainly) before firing up the Radio Free Geneva theme and tackling two videos, one from Greg Boyd, and the other from Kevin Thompson, both aimed at refuting Calvinism. Boyd’s was the general discussion, Thompson pretended that Reformed exegetes ignore the phrase “in him” at Ephesians 1:4. We debunked that claim. Here

Gorgeous Goatskin Greek New Testaments, 3 Mormons, Open Phones

James White, August 14, 2018, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Personal, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off showing off my new Nestle-Aland 28th Edition Large Print Greek New Testament as rebound in gorgeous turquoise Italian goatskin by Post Tenebras Lux Bible Rebinding, run by Jeffrey Rice. I had Jeffrey call in and talk with me about his work. Now, I know some will think I am just causing everyone else to covet, but, I know

The Revoice Conference on Crosspolitic Then Open Phones from Evergreen, Colorado

James White, July 16, 2018, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off commenting on the Crosspolitic.com interview with Greg Johnson, pastor of the PCA church hosting the Revoice Conference this weekend. Then we started taking calls on topics such as polygamy, the canon of the Old Testament, how to leave a church, and finishing with a call from Dino in Sri Lanka on the subject of Roman Catholicism. Here is

A Quick, (Audio Only), Dividing Line from the High Country

James White, July 5, 2018, Homosexuality, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Just a few items as James is on the road, including a little astronomy, and then some discussion of the movement to “apologize” to the “LGBTQ” community—a community that, by any rational analysis, does not actually exist. Also, a brief discussion of the release by InterVarsity Press of a new book titled, “Can ‘White’ People Be Saved? Here is the

Isaiah 44:24 and the LDS View of God, More on the Book of Abraham, Open Phones

James White, June 28, 2018, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off discussing Isaiah 44:24 and its relevance to Mormonism, then transitioned into a bit more on the Book of Abraham and its significance as a clear indication of Smith’s errors. Then we looked at a few tweets from Rachel Held Evans and Kyle J. Howard in light of the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy. Then we went to the

Tim Keller on Jesus Getting Close to You, DTS and Ephesians 5, the Book of Abraham

James White, June 26, 2018, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at the little upset that took place yesterday on Twitter regarding Tim Keller’s tweet about Jesus becoming human “to get close to you.” Then looked at a Christian Post article about DTS professors and Ephesians 5 related to wives and husbands and the nature of submission. Then we finished up with a Mormonism segment that I will

A Biblical Apologetic Mentality, Reconciliation Vs. Talk, Open Phones

James White, June 21, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first hour working through the issue of gentleness/meekness as the repeatedly commanded biblical norm for Christian behavior and dialogue in response to the Islamicize Me series and discussions that have come about since then. Then spent a few minutes on reconciliation, ethnicity, and “conversation,” and then went to the phones for 30 minutes with calls on a wide

The Danger of “Gay Christianity,” Islamicize Me Redux, a Bit More on the SBC

James White, June 7, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, surprise surprise, quite the amount of response to yesterday’s program, so we covered two topics we touched on yesterday, including further commentary on the Islamicize Me video series and on the Paige Patterson situation in the Southern Baptist Convention. But first, we looked at the issues raised by the Revoice Conference and the idea of “gay Christianity,” and considered

Quick Ministry Report from Around the World, the “First Century Mark” Fragment That Isn’t, the Mockumentary, and the SBC

James White, June 6, 2018, General Apologetics, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Gave a relatively quick report on my trip to London, Johannesburg, Lusaka, Loughborough, Glasgow, Leicester and Belfast, and then discussed some of what broke while I was gone. Looked at the publication of the “First Century Mark” fragment that turned out to be contemporaneous with P45. Then we needed to address the series of videos that have been posted of

A Dividing Line of Clarification

James White, May 15, 2018, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We provided clarification on a number of points today, starting with Bruce Jenner’s reported “marriage” to a trans-gender “woman” 47 years his junior. Then we provided clarification on Mitt Romney’s ironic tweet about “religious bigots.” Next we provided clarification on an Islamic video accusing me of inconsistency regarding the Trinity and the fear of the Lord. But the majority of

James Cone Eulogized by Evangelicals, Andy Stanley Unhooks the Old Testament, Open Phones on a Ton of Interesting Topics

James White, May 10, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered some issues relating to racialism, including a webcast from SEBTS, at the start. Then listened to key elements of Andy Stanley’s sermon “unhooking” the Old Testament from the New Testament Church. Then we took calls on a wide variety of topics, including cessationism and continuationism, Mormonism, particular redemption, and more. Only one more program before I head overseas for

Reconciliation in Scripture Examined, Then Open Phones

James White, May 8, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Spent a while teaching on some hermeneutical/exegetical principles (especially in regards to parallels in the Biblical text), and then made application to the term “reconciliation” as it is found in Ephesians and Colossians, making application to the current CRT/SJW/”Woke” movement as it is being manifested in the Reformed churches in the United States. Then we went to the phones and

Sam Harris and Bart Ehrman Chat Christianity, Open Phones on Many Topics

James White, May 3, 2018, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Spent a little time on some comments made in an interview between Sam Harris and Bart Ehrman at the beginning of the program (after just a few minutes noting Jim Wallis’ extolling of James Cone) and then moved to calls. Spent way too much time trying to deal with a super technical call (I went back to it later when

Interview with Michael Brown on His New Book, Second Hour: James Cone’s Theology Reviewed

James White, May 1, 2018, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Two hour long program today that is really two very different programs. First hour Michael Brown joins me via Skype to talk about his new book, Playing with Holy Fire. I had been on Michael’s program last week on the same topic. Then, after an hour, we moved on to the discussion prompted by the death this past weekend of Dr.

California’s Totalitarianism, Then Calls on Racialism, JWs, OT Scholarship, and Much More

James White, April 26, 2018, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off discussing AB 2943 in California and the moral and ethical insanity consuming our society. Then we went to calls with the first on the subject of racialism, then discussions of Jehovah’s Witnesses, OT scholarship, and many other topics. 80 minute program. Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video. Our YouTube

John 3:16 Again, Racialism, CBGM, Peterson/Shapiro Dialogue

James White, April 24, 2018, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a TON of important material today. Started off responding to an Arminian attempt to spin the discussion of John 3:16 and the phrase πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων (every one believing). Then we moved on to some developments on the racialism front. From there we switched gears and addressed the claim that CGBM will cause all of the past three hundred years
